Once upon a time, before you, there were quiet achings, prayers and sorrow.
Once upon a time, there was a hole in my heart the size of you.
Until, once upon a time, there was a soft, fluttering heart beat.
And when you were finally here, pink and squirmy in my arms, the Heavens above whispered to me that you were meant to be mine, all mine.
Some day, you’ll belong to someone else. You’ll belong to yourself. You’ll belong to your schooling and your career, and to someone you’ll love more than you’ve ever loved before. But I will take this time, this time where you are mine and only mine, and I will cherish it and savor every possible second of it.
This is our first Mother’s Day together, though it seems you’ve been with me for far longer than eternity. And while you may not be only mine forever, I will always, always and forever, be yours.
Love, mom
